Description
Raymond S. Bradley provides his readers with a comprehensive and up-to-date review of all of the important methods used in paleoclimatic
reconstruction, dating and paleoclimate modeling. Two comprehensive chapters on dating methods provide the foundation for all paleoclimatic
studies and are followed by up-to-date coverage of ice core research, continental geological and biological records, pollen analysis,
radiocarbon dating, tree rings and historical records. New methods using alkenones in marine sediments and coral studies are also described.
Paleoclimatology, Second Edition, is an essential textbook for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students studying climatology,
paleoclimatology and paleooceanography worldwide, as well as a valuable reference for lecturers and researchers, appealing to archaeologists
